In a world ravaged by war between kaijus and humans, Hiro—a young mechanic—and Koï—a small shape-shifting kaiju—join forces to face the giant kaiju Tipiaku and the Tribone army. Caught up in a conflict beyond his control, Hiro gradually discovers that kaiju are not what he was taught to believe...and neither is he.

Between mecha battles and titanic creatures, KAIJU HEART is a moving and explosive adventure where alliance becomes an act of resistance! Written and illustrated by Touffe.

"STOMPING GROUNDS is about hope and love and change and perseverance. The art is bright and vibrant, but behind all that color is a story about the end of the world and discrimination and authoritarianism, and that’s the kind of storytelling sleight-of-hand that can lift comic art to its highest heights." —LOREN BOUCHARD, Creator of Bob's Burgers

Two big-hearted monster adventures. One Kickstarter.

Humanoids presents two family-oriented graphic novels for readers who like their adventures huge, heartfelt, and just a little out of control.

In STOMPING GROUNDS, the old Earth is gone, overrun by giant alien flora and fauna—and the Shin family still has to get through the day without losing their minds. Bob’s Burgers meets Pacific Rim. From Amit Tishler (Cartoon Network, HBO) & Elliot Sperl (Bob's Burgers, Axe Cop, Animals), illustrated by Sarah Stern (Rick & Morty, Lumberjanes).

In KAIJU HEART, Hiro is a young mechanic raised to fear kaiju. Then he saves one.

One book brings family chaos in a world gone strange.
The other brings an impossible friendship in the midst of war.
Both bring mecha-scale adventure and a tear to your eye.

Boo-hoo. "H.O.P." by Ugo Bienvenu.

Read the full story in METAL HURLANT ISSUE 4: PARADISE LOST. Out now.

******

Utopia has been chased by sentient beings since the beginning of time.
But what is it? Where is it? When? How?

This installment of Humanoids’ celebrated genre anthology explores “heaven on earth” (and beyond), and the systems that have made it impossible, illusory, or brief, warping it into its darker dystopian mirror…

Inside this 272-page tome: Interviews with filmmaker, documentarian, and “cult” expert Jodi Wille (The Source Family, Welcome Space Brothers), and utopian sci-fi master Kim Stanley Robinson (The Mars Trilogy, Ministry for the Future); a brief glimpse of French legend Tardi, and Polonius, his rare, depraved 44-page work with writer Picaret; and 23 visions of utopias lost and found.

HAUNTED: THE TRUE STORY OF MARY SHELLEY & THE CREATION OF FRANKENSTEIN by Koren Shadmi — FINAL HOURS ON KICKSTARTER

"A Shadmi book is as much about personal narrative as it is about the building blocks of their existence. It considers color, sound, and even the very air the people in it lived and breathed. It’s about capturing the spirit of a certain time and place to better understand the men and women at their center." —Comics Beat
